OPI Red Ombre Nails

Ombre nails are on trend with celebs like Lauren Conrad and I am loving the look! I have been obsessed with the ombre look since about 2002 - I'll never forget when this girl came into school with this blue shirt that faded from dark to light and I thought it was the cutest thing I had ever seen. (Clearly if I can remember a shirt that a specific girl wore almost 10 years later...)

Anyhow, I also love the look on hair ( a la Giuliana Rancic...) but my hairdresser says that I'm too blonde to make it happen, so I had to settle for the Ombre on my nails. I went with an all OPI gel manicure in red shades, but you can do this with almost any color. Next time I think I'm going to try purple.

Here is the results along with some OOTD pics. Enjoy ladies! :)

Top - Francesca's

Fox Ring & Bangle Set - Mary and Dyer

Hope you all like! This look is so easy to do and so fun!! All you need is 5 polishes in the same color family and then shade them from light to dark. It's also a great way to get use out of all of your colors and to justify those nail polish hauls ;)

You are adorable in these pictures! Not many people can pull off two bright colors together...but you do it flawlessly! :) I love your nails too! Sometimes I like to paint all my nails one color and then paint my ring fingers with sparkle! :)

(Beauty and Bows Reply) (Mary and Dyer) Hi Kat, we don't have BirchBox, but two other companies have just launched a similar thing (and another is in development). I've signed up, so hopefully I'll receive some goodies soon :)

I'm in love with ombre hair!! Definitely want to give it a try. And of coures love your nails. I just got a mani last week and it was shellac. I've heard of a gel manicure, but now I'm wondering what the difference is!
